Dungeon Siege III or, to use its full title, Dungeon Siege III: The Battle of Lens F’lare has had its release dates confirmed. It’ll be arriving in Europe on May 27th and North America on May 31st, and Americans can also browse their choice of pre-order bonuses here. A summer release, then. I can see us now- windows open, trousers off, a glass of something ice-cold, calorific and toxic-coloured in our free hand and… wait. Dungeon Siege III is an action game, isn’t it? It’ll require two hands to play! Failed. In mourning I’ve posted the original Dungeon Siege theme after the jump. Bet you’ll find it more stirring than you expect.
Yeah! By the way, if you haven’t read our own Richard Cobbett’s impressions of Dungeon Siege III yet, that is literally an option you have right now.

Yeah, information about this has been sparse so far, but what little has leaked out has been really good. I hope this will finally be the Obsidian game that not only has fantastic writing, but is also technically excellent.

Mask of the Betrayer was the best traditional party based crpg campaign of the last decade, so I don’t really see why you’re saying “Oh my”. Sure the balancing was off, the core system of spirit hunger was a bit broken and it had bugs, but when it came to story, characters and setting it stood heads and shoulders above anything Bioware have come up with since Baldur’s Gate 2: The Throne of Baal (or Bahl or Baahl or whatever).

(Note: This is purely my personal opinion and reflects my tastes in regards to fantasy CRPG. I don’t lay claim to any universal truth and do not want to discredit or devalue the opinion, character and lifestyle of people who may have different tastes in respect to said genre.)

I clicked on the video, it played in it’s entirety with just the game logo on the screen and I thought it was some kind of opposite version of subliminal advertising where you’re tricked into staring at the product name for an unfeasibly long period of time .

Then I stopped it and saw the title as my mouse hovered over (I have no speakers).

I actually LOL’d… proof that I only need my own stupidity as entertainment.

You are in the right place then. The Mechwarrior 2 is still one of the funniest dumbest stories I’ve ever heard. Just the thought of a 7 year old in tears being forced to play a computer game still cracks me up.

I’ve had some stupid moments while gaming. I played the Starcraft demo with my brother and dad over LAN. None of us had ever played a strategy game before so we didn’t know what all the buttons were for.
We did manage to find the “Build SCV” button, so that was all we used. We would have a few gathering minerals and the rest would be our combat SCVs. We would send them into each other’s bases trying to destroy the Command Center. After a few days of this my Dad finally figured out how to make marines and wiped us out.

My silly gaming moment:
When I was like 5 or 6, playing Leisure Suit Larry on my dad’s Macintosh, I was never able to make it past the prostitute. It took me forever to first realize I had to type ‘put condom on’ before having sex with her. Then I would often forget to type ‘put clothes on’ after having sex with her. Finally after remembering all those steps, I always wondered why the cops would still chase me and call me a perv… I thought they just knew I had sex with a prostitute but finally realized I never typed ‘take condom off’ after having sex with her….. good times learning wonderful things as a kid :)

“Steam:
Players who prepurchase DUNGEON SIEGE III will get three games for the price of one, as Valve will offer single-player versions of both DUNGEON SIEGE I and DUNGEON SIEGE II as free downloads for PC platforms.”

Now I’m definitely preordering. Who cares if DS3 ends up being horrible, I’ll have plenty of fun with the first two. I do hope it comes with expansions, as I’ve only ever played the base games.
